I own a licensed copy of Starcraft Brood War, and I have just decided to install it on my MacBook for some old school Battle.Net fun I have made a disk image out of the CD via Toast, which works fine, but does take up a decent chunk of disk space. So I would prefer using a "No CD" patch file if there is one available for Mac.

I am well aware that this is apparently "illegal" but I own the game (who doesn't?). All I want to do is have a lean system drive, and having a patch would help me out greatly. If this is somehow an inappropriate thread, then if someone could PM me with more info I would appreciate it.


Again, NOT trying to cause a disturbance, just trying to get some REAL info.

Try creating a compressed image, Starcraft honestly shouldn't take up that much space as an image.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

No it's not too bad, only a few hundred megs. But that's each CD, one for Starcraft, one for Brood War.
